This free-admission museum provides local history related to Pennsylvania's coal-mining industry, as well as a history of Knobels itself. At the front of the building there is also a 'panning' station - where the kids can search for 'precious stones'.
The museum is not as busy as the nearby water ride - but is fun to walk through during a day at the park.
